Business Leaders Brace for Trump's Return Amid Talent and Volatility Concerns

The D.C. region is facing a potential talent shortage as the Trump administration's policies may lead to reduced international migration, which has historically supported the area's population growth. Business leaders are concerned about the impact on key sectors like hospitality and construction, which rely heavily on non-U.S. citizens. The trend of more people leaving the region than moving in, particularly among 30-40 year olds, is exacerbated by high housing costs and could worsen if migration policies tighten further.

"First Charter Flight Evacuating U.S. Citizens from Haiti Lands in Miami Amid Chaos and Looting"

A charter flight carrying over 30 U.S. citizens fleeing gang violence in Haiti landed in Miami, with the U.S. State Department offering limited charter flights for American citizens from the less chaotic northern city of Cap-Haïtien. Haiti's main airport in Port-au-Prince remains closed following recent gang attacks, and the situation has led to looting of aid supplies. Evacuees must sign a promissory bill agreeing to reimburse the government, and U.S. military forces have been deployed to bolster security at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti.

Population Shifts: Winners and Losers in US Counties.

Several large, urban counties across the United States gained residents or stemmed population declines in the year ending last July after losing residents in the previous 12-month period amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's population estimates released Thursday. Population change is driven by migration, both within the U.S. as people move around inside the country, and from international trends as people arrive from abroad. It also depends on whether births outpace deaths, or vice versa.

US Counties Experience Population Shifts in 2022.

Cook County, Illinois, lost 68,000 residents between July 2021 and July 2022, the second-greatest decline among all US counties during that period, according to the US Census Bureau. The county retained its status as the second-most populous after Los Angeles County, but the 1.3% decline in population was a sharper blow than the 0.9% drop in Los Angeles. The decline is not as sharp as last year's, thanks largely to international migration, which offset an estimated 94,000 residents lost via domestic migration.

US Census Reveals Population Shifts in Top Counties for 2022.

Several large US counties gained residents or slowed population declines in the year ending July 2022, after losing residents in the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the US Census Bureau. Population change is driven by migration, both within the US and from international trends, as well as whether births outpace deaths. The 10 largest US counties saw varying levels of population change, with some experiencing gains and others losses, driven by factors such as domestic and international migration, natural increase, and residents moving to other counties.
